Abaebbulaniya 13
1 Mweyongere okwagalananga ng’abooluganda.
Let the charity of the brotherhood abide in you.
2 Temwerabiranga kusembeza bagenyi, kubanga waliwo abaasembeza bamalayika nga tebagenderedde.
And hospitality do not forget; for by this some, being not aware of it, have entertained angels.
3 Mujjukirenga abasibe abali mu kkomera, nga muli nga abaasibirwa awamu n’abo. Munakuwaliranga wamu nabo ababonyaabonyezebwa, kubanga nammwe muli mu mubiri.
Remember them that are in bands, as if you were bound with them; and them that labour, as being yourselves also in the body.
4 Obufumbo mubussangamu ekitiibwa n’ebirayiro byabwo, kubanga abakaba n’abenzi Katonda alibasalira omusango, ne gubasinga.
Marriage honourable in all, and the bed undefiled. For fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
5 Mwewalenga omululu, bye mulina bibamalenga. Kubanga Katonda yagamba nti, “Sirikuleka era sirikwabulira n’akatono.”
Let your manners be without covetousness, contented with such things as you have; for he hath said: I will not leave thee, neither will I forsake thee.
6 Kyetuva twogera n’obuvumu nti, “Mukama ye mubeezi wange, siityenga, omuntu ayinza kunkola ki?”
So that we may confidently say: The Lord is my helper: I will not fear what man shall do to me.
7 Mujjukirenga abakulembeze bammwe abaababuulira ekigambo kya Katonda, nga mutunuulira empisa zaabwe nga mugobereranga okukkiriza.
Remember your prelates who have spoken the word of God to you; whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation,
Jesus Christ, yesterday, and today; and the same for ever. (aiōn g165)
9 Temusendebwasendebwanga kuyigiriza okw’engeri ennyingi ezitamanyiddwa. Kubanga kirungi omutima okunywezebwa ekisa, so si mu byokulya ebitagasa abo ababirya.
Be not led away with various and strange doctrines. For it is best that the heart be established with grace, not with meats; which have not profited those that walk in them.
10 Tulina ekyoto, abaweereza mu weema ey’Okukuŋŋaanirangamu kye batalina buyinza kuliirangako.
We have an altar, whereof they have no power to eat who serve the tabernacle.
11 Kabona Asinga Obukulu yatwalanga omusaayi gw’ebisolo, olw’ebibi, mu kifo ekitukuvu era n’ennyama yaabyo n’eyokerwa ebweru w’olusiisira.
For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the holies by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.
12 Noolwekyo ne Yesu kyeyava abonaabonera era n’afiira ebweru w’ekibuga alyoke atutukuze n’omusaayi gwe ye.
Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people by his own blood, suffered without the gate.
13 Kale naffe tufulume tulage gy’ali ebweru w’olusiisira nga twetisse ekivume kye.
Let us go forth therefore to him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
14 Kubanga wano ku nsi tetulinaawo kibuga kya lubeerera, wabula tulindirira ekyo ekijja.
For we have not here a lasting city, but we seek one that is to come.
15 Kale mu Yesu tuweerayo bulijjo ssaddaaka ey’okutendereza Katonda, kye kirabo eky’emimwa, nga twatula erinnya lye.
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise always to God, that is to say, the fruit of lips confessing to his name.
16 Temwerabiranga kukola bulungi n’okugabananga; kubanga ssaddaaka eziri ng’ezo Katonda zimusanyusa.
And do not forget to do good, and to impart; for by such sacrifices God’s favour is obtained.
17 Muwulirenga abakulembeze bammwe era mubagonderenga, kubanga obuweereza bwabwe kwe kulabirira emyoyo gyammwe, balyoke bakikole n’essanyu nga tebeemulugunya. Kubanga bwe babeemulugunyiza tekibagasa mmwe.
Obey your prelates, and be subject to them. For they watch as being to render an account of your souls; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief. For this is not expedient for you.
18 Mutusabirenga, kubanga tumanyidde ddala nga tulina omwoyo mulungi, era twagala okukolanga obulungi mu buli kimu.
Pray for us. For we trust we have a good conscience, being willing to behave ourselves well in all things.
19 Era okusinga ennyo mbeegayirira munsabire ndyoke nkomewo mangu gye muli.
And I beseech you the more to do this, that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20 Kale, Katonda ow’emirembe eyazuukiza Mukama waffe Yesu, Omusumba w’endiga omukulu ow’endagaano etaggwaawo gye yanyweza n’omusaayi gwe, (aiōnios g166)
And may the God of peace, who brought again from the dead the great pastor of the sheep, our Lord Jesus Christ, in the blood of the everlasting testament, (aiōnios g166)
21 abawe buli kirungi kyonna kye mwetaaga okubasobozesa okukola by’ayagala, era atukozese ebisiimibwa mu maaso ge ng’ayita mu Yesu Kristo. Aweebwenga ekitiibwa emirembe n’emirembe. Amiina. (aiōn g165)
Fit you in all goodness, that you may do his will; doing in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom is glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
22 Kaakano mbakuutira abooluganda, mugumiikirizenga ebibabuulirirwa, kubanga mbawandiikidde mu bigambo bitono.
And I beseech you, brethren, that you suffer this word of consolation. For I have written to you in a few words.
23 Mbategeeza nti muganda waffe Timoseewo yateebwa, bw’alijja amangu, ndijja naye eyo okubalaba.
Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty: with whom (if he come shortly) I will see you.
24 Mulamuse abakulembeze bammwe era n’abakkiriza bonna. Ab’omu Italiya babalamusizza.
Salute all your prelates, and all the saints. The brethren from Italy salute you.
25 Ekisa kibeerenga nammwe mwenna.
Grace be with you all. Amen.
